Dumbarton Oaks is the legacy of Robert and Mildred Woods Bliss to Harvard University and to the humanities. Located in the historic neighborhood of Georgetown Washington D.C., Dumbarton Oaks is an institute of Harvard University that supports scholarship in Byzantine, Pre-Columbian and Garden and Landscape Studies. The multiple aspects of the Blisses’ gift include historic gardens and buildings, world-class collections for researchers and the public to enjoy, and generous support for fellowships and scholarly endeavors on the local, national, and international levels.

Our mission is, first, to maintain what we have been entrusted by the Blisses to preserve. Second, to support the pursuit of the humanities as a whole, with particular focus on the disciplines of Byzantine, Pre-Columbian, and Garden and Landscape Studies. Third, to honor the intention of the donors by achieving the greatest mutual advantage between Harvard and Dumbarton Oaks. Fourth, to serve the larger public through the museum, garden, and Friends of Music.

Our wonderful garden and campus, which host unparalleled collections, are special and filled with diverse, energetic, and talented people who are driven to grow and succeed. By working here, you join a vibrant community that advances our mission in meaningful ways.
